I know they have 911 built in. My question is if I can deactivate it so I don't accidentally have an ambulance every time I have a seizure (which has been a few times a month lately...)

Sabril/Potiga/Banzel
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey everyone :)

I was just wondering if anyone has tried
or is on any of the meds above. ?
My past dr (and the one I have now) won't let me try them,
mainly because of the risk of vision loss.
I'm kinda curious and wondering if that has really happened ?
Or were there other effects besides the vision?

Thanks !

Flashing Lights......Any Teachers Out There?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am a teacher and they have to warn me when they are having any kind of drill. I find it unbelievable to know that schools have an alarm system with flashing strobe lights in a building full of kids and knowing that at the very least, 20 kids in the building have a seizure disorder. Any other opinions?
